Network Atlas fails to start in NPM 10.3.1 with error Network Atlas has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...

The version of Atlas is 1.7.0.190

Note is looks like Atlas almost get's all the way to opening up before dying... ie. it connects, reads data, and then says preparing UI... then ERROR.

This is a recently new installation of NPM, NTA, and SAM SLX together.  Way back when there were issues like this: 

I'd like to know if this is still a problem as I have a Full Name customer property for Interface names of network devices.  As everyone knows sometimes these are labeled by the operating system with Names like:

Team #0

EthernetAdapter #2

vmxnet3 EtherNetAdapter #2

Do "#" symbols still break Network Atlas from being able to run if they exist in custom properties???  It seems like I'm seeing this behavior in version 10.3.1 of NPM.  I would have thought this would have been fixed by now.

If this is still a known problem anyone please chime in and let me know???

The actual NetworkAtlas.log entries that occur are here with my user info starred out ***** IF anyone knows what this is please let me know????
